3BACK'S CERTIFIED Scrum Professional ScrumMaster TRAINING

HERE'S WHAT WE DO!

The CSP-SM is a very intense course, and our goal is to maximize our student outcomes in the 16 hours we have together.

 

12 of those 16 hours are guided learning, where you will be working, reading, completing exercises, discussions, and so on. We guide you through 14 learning modules with great materials, discussions, and exercises. All of the Learning Objectives will be verified in 12 Contact hours while you are working through assignments that are reviewed. We facilitate this for you by review, by verifying you've completed each module before moving to the next one, and by having our admin available to you for questions.

4 of these 16 hours are Office Hours, where the Trainer does Coaching, Mentoring and Q&A based on the Students' questions and supports the LOs. In practice, the vast majority of this time is spent talking about work problems or misperceptions about agile and scrum.

We believe, and our reviews validate, that this structure provides a near-optimal learning experience for our Students.

MORE ABOUT THE COURSE
As a Certified Scrum Professional ScrumMaster® (CSP-SM®), you are actively working on Organizational Improvement. You are now deeply skilled at building great teams and have built great Scrum Teams as a Scrum Master and emergent leader in your organization. You have encountered numerous challenges to Great Scrum Team development and now want to take your skills to the next level.

In order to gain the CSP-SM certification, you must complete 14 self-paced, on-demand Modules and attend 4 office hours. The typical Module includes 20-60 minutes of reading (depending on your reading speed), and a multiple-choice quiz.

The next step in your journey is to obtain a Certified Scrum Professional ScrumMaster® (CSP-SM®) credential from Scrum Alliance®. To obtain your CSP-SM you need to take a CSP-SM class, have at least 24 months of experience as a ScrumMaster within the past five years, and hold a Scrum Alliance issued A-CSM certification (for details see here).

3Back's Exclusive Companion Book

Organizations must adapt to improve and flourish in changing environments. The Scrum Mastering III book and course will strengthen your skills as an organizational change agent and prepare you to coach junior Scrum Leaders. For anyone who is new to the world of Scrum -- its foundations, its principles, its nuances -- there’s a lot to digest. You will discover that Scrum is lightweight, useful, and difficult to master. Once mastered, Scrum becomes an intuitive extension of how you approach work.

To help you master Scrum, our books are broken down into two groups. The Scrum Handbooks which describe the models of Single-Team Scrum and Multi-Team Scrum - what it is. And the Scrum Guidebooks, which describes guidance for implementation - how to apply. Both book groups will help you frame Scrum Effectively so that you can maximize your chances of success - especially in complex, ever-changing environments.

The Scrum Leadership Series is a core set of books and companion courses that, when combined with years of domain-driven experience, allow a person to be designated as a Recognized Scrum Leader.
